Disney is bringing Cinderella's wicked step sisters to the big screen in a new live action movie called Step Sisters. The film stars Anastasia and Drizella as the main characters, flipping the classic tale on its head. Akiva Schaefer, who directed Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers, is helming the project. Disney's Dan Greger and Doug Mann are rewriting the script, originally penned by Michael Monta-Mayor. It's produced by Ali Bell, with Disney's Jessica Virtue and Katie Stark, overseeing things. This comes more than 10 years after Disney's live-action Cinderella starring Lily James. The story draws from the 1950 animated classic and Charles Peroles 1697 French fairy tale. Meanwhile, Netflix has its own step sister twist in the works, an animated film titled Steps. Amy Poler is producing it, with Ali Wong and Stephanie Shoe voicing the leads. It's set to drop sometime in 2026.
